We can make fun of Galgotias, but the uncomfortable truth is that a large majority of BTechs, MTechs, PhDs, and even many professors in India will struggle to build good engineering products.
The problem is not about intelligence. It is about ecosystem, incentives, and culture.
Our education system gives very little importance to practical learning from an early stage. From as early as Class 9, hands-on experimentation is treated as secondary. By Class 12, many aspiring engineers skip practical work entirely. Setting up Young’s Double Slit experiment and getting right results is far less valuable than memorizing the formula d sin θ = mλ for exams.
This mindset continues in college. Students quickly learn that studying core engineering deeply or performing genuine experiments is rarely rewarded. Seniors push them toward placements over learning, the job market values credentials over competence, and uninspiring teaching further reduces curiosity. In many labs, marks depend more on producing perfect graphs that match textbooks than on whether real experiments were actually performed.
Even in the best engineering institutes, where talented students and capable professors exist, the incentive structure prioritizes publishing papers far more than building working products. Over time, this becomes a convenient justification across academia.
Professors also face structural constraints. Setting up a good laboratory can take years. Procuring basic components involves lengthy bureaucratic processes. Career advancement depends largely on the number of research papers published, not on solving real industry problems or creating deployable technologies. Under such conditions, product building becomes an uphill task.
When optics matter more than outcomes, the system naturally rewards visibility over value. Creating hype, publishing quickly, and maintaining appearances become easier choices than undertaking the difficult, uncertain process of building real engineering solutions.
So yes, we can make fun of Galgotias. But the deeper issue is systemic. The real challenge is that our education and research ecosystem does not sufficiently reward those who build.
